Steps:

• Pulse Oreos in a food processor until you have 3 cups. Set aside.
• Pulse walnuts in a food processor until you have 1 ½ cups.
• Combine crushed Oreos, walnuts, cream in a medium bowl and mix well.
• Add rum starting with ¼ cup and adding more if needed to create a consistency that holds its shape when rolled. (If you add too much and they are too soft, add in more cookie crumbs to get desired consistency, note that the crumbs do soak up the liquids as they sit).

• Roll in sprinkles. Refrigerate 2 days before serving.

THE BEST OREO® RUM BALLS

Steps:

• Combine chocolate wafer crumbs, confectioners' sugar, pecans, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup rum in a bowl. Mix with your hands until ingredients are well combined; mixture will be stiff and sticky.

EASY RUM BALLS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the cookie crumbs and pecans until the nuts are finely ground.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the bourbon or rum, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, the cocoa powder, and honey. Add the mixture to the food processor and pulse until just combined.
• Let the dough rest, uncovered, at room temperature for 4 hours or, lightly covered, overnight. This will dry it out a little.
• Use your fingers to roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls in confectioners' sugar. Store the balls airtight if you like them moist, or uncovered if you like them to develop a crunchy sugar crust on the outside. Sprinkle with (or roll the balls in) additional confectioners' sugar just before serving.

RUM BALLS

Steps:

• Set up a work station with a large ziplock bag and rolling pin (or a food processor); a large bowl for mixing; and a shallow bowl with 3/4 cup of coconut for rolling in.

• Add the crushed cookies, coconut, cocoa powder, condensed milk, rum and vanilla to the large bowl. Mix the ingredients well using a wooden spoon, then your hands once it gets too thick. (If mixture is too thick, mix in 1-2 tablespoons milk).
• Scoop out a tablespoonful of mixture and roll into a 1 - 1 1/2 inch ball, then roll in coconut until completely covered. Place on a baking sheet or tray and repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
